Chiefs Labor. to Relieve Combative Spirit in Debates. HARMONY. IS SOUGHT WITH WHITE HOUSE ee * Public Works and Drought Aid Bills. Under Fire as Session Advances. By CARLISLE BARGERON. House and Senate remained dead- locked on the relief proposals yes- terday, while Senate Republican lead- ets worked assiduously to relieve the spirit of combativeness that has be-| come acute between the Senate and the White House. Action of some sort by the Sénate ‘on the $116,000,000 public works bill Was delayed when word came during & bitter attack on the President by Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, of the deatu ot Senator Greene, of Ver- ~gmont. Senator McKellar was in the _ Inidst of a delirium of insinuations *-against the President's request« that he be permitted to switch the-public ‘Works funds from one alloca to @nother, a proposal on whi the ‘®enate was about to take another ‘yote, when announcement of Senator Greene’s death stopped McKellar short.

Borah’s’ stand + it atid his uncomplimentary remarks of.-Mr. Hoover’s ability to spend the “‘taxpayers’ money.” The question before the Senate was Senator Jones’ motion that the Sen- ate recede on its amendments to the Houze bill and which the House con- ferees have taken a stand against. It will be determined today whether the Senate will recede on the seriously contentious, the shifting of funds, but an indication of what it may do was seen in its refusal, 42 to 39, to recede on Senator Jones’ first mo-. tion, that to back-track on the Sen- ate amendment by which more than $2,000,000 ral road aid funds, now held up. because the States can not match them, would be released to the drought stricken sections of Ala- bama and Georgia. Senators George, of Georgia, and Black, of Alabama, made a successful fight for the reten- tion of this amendment. The House, in the meantime, vented it spleen for and against the $30,- 000,000 drought relief bill which the House agricultural committee in the morning voted to substitute for the Genate $60,000,000 proposal. The afternoon was given over to general debate and consideration of the House bill will continue today under the five-minute rule, with the administra- tion leaders confident now that they have maneuvered the proposition be- fore the House in such a way that it is a question of yoting up or down @ $30,000,000 relief, that they will be able to hold their forces in line. ‘Matter of Veracity. There is no indication of breaking the deadlock on this bill, of which the White House has made an issue, and | the impression is growing that it really makes no difference, after all. In connection with this bill there has developed a “question of verac- ity” between Representative Aswell, ef Louisiana, and Senator McNary, on the one hand, and the Depart- ment of Agriculture on the other, @nd insofar as Mr. Aswell’s part is concerned, he came off second best in a showdown with Secretary of Agriculture- Hyde, and T. M. War- burton, head of the President’s Drought Commission, before the House agricultural committee in, the morning. Mr. Aswell and Senator McNary have insisted that the $60,000,000 bill extending relief to farmers for food, Clothing and medical. supplies, and ‘which Mr. Hyde and the President lave publicly lambasted, came to tirem from the department. Before the committee yesterday Mr. Hyde told Mr, Aswell that he had had nothing to do with the bill and War- burton said that while he had drawn it up, he had done so at the dictation Snow Covers Capital And Impedes Traffic DRY UNIT WARS Jobless Scurry to Shelter of Missions; Skidding Automobiles Cause Numerous Accidents While Slippery Streets Add to Toll of Injury.

The storm came.in from the South and blariketed the Capital in two Anches of snow. With it came the low temperature of 16 degrees above zero at 5 a.m. This, however, grad- ually. rose to 28 degrees at noon. Then: began # recession of the mer- cury,-which hovered between 18 and 22 degrees during fhe evening.

It is uulikely, officials of the line said last night,-that any planes will move today, unless there is a decided im- provement in fiying conditions.

The Department of Justice acted quickly yesterday to block the latest threat to its prohibition machinery, and announced an “immediate ap- peal” would be taken directly to the Supreme Court, from the New Jersey decision which held the eighteenth amendment invalid. Simultaneously an aroused Federal prohibition director telegraphed a command to his New Jersey forces to “carry on,” while two brother jurists there of Federal Judge Clark, au- thor of yesterday’s decision, were refusing to follow the striking prece- dent set by him.

This was made — yesterday afternoon when the way was cleared * everything but the arguments and the charge of Justice Peyton Gordon, who is presiding. Both Carnell and Mahoney testified yesterday. Calm and collected and -in tones that were matter-of-fact, but not boastful, the two men told how they went out on the night of October 6 to “stick up” somebody so they could get money enough to go to California. They explained how they chanced to select Mr. Bush and ex- plained further how fate had played a hand in the man’s death.

In a telegram to Louis J. Tutt, deputy prohibition administrator at Newark, he said: “Do not be discouraged by Judge Clark’s decision. Carry on!” Judge Not Bound. Nevertheless relief was expressed by Federal officials at the news that not only had two of the New Jersey dis- trict judges refused to be bound by the decision declaring the eighteenth amendment invalid, but that two United States commissioners ‘ there had been ordered to continue. their hearings on prohibition cases, despite the ruling. At Newark, Federal Julies William Runyon, hearing the first liquor case that could have been affected, said “my conception is that the eighteenth amendment has been passed on by the Supreme Court and is binding on all judges of lesser jurisdiction.” eral Judge John B.

Ford, who is a wealthy real estate wOman end a widow, sued Mrs duPont Lee, socially prominent and a member of the duPont family of Del- aware, for $50,000 damages, alleging the latter had slanderéd her. The suit was based on an allegation that Mrs. duPont Lee had made remarks before several persons at a healing mission at a fashionable church near Washington Circle to the effect that Mrs. Ford had gotten the Rev. William Thomas Reynolds, for- mer rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Georgetown, drunk. It also was charged that Mrs. duPont Lee had reflected on Mrs. Ford’s moral char- acter. Whether Mrs. duPont Lee will_ appeal from the. verdict could not be. learned last night. The verdict, as returned, awarded $2,000 compensa- tory damages and $2,000 punitive damages.

FIRST DESIGNATE DIES IN PARTISAN RIOTING Orellana, Succeeding by Coup, May Not Be Recog- nized as Legal Executive. By EDWARD T. FOLLIARD. To the already formidable list of 1930 revolutions was added yesterday a swiftly executed revolt in Guate- mala, the northernmost of the five Central American republics. Acting President Baudilio Palma was driven out of the presidential palace almost before he had time to hang up his hat, and Gen. Manuel Orellana was proclaimed provisional president in his place. Only. the day before, President Hoover, on the advice of the State De- partmient, had sent a message to the newly installed Palma wishing him success. This was in response to 4 message from Guatemala saying that President Lazaro Chacon had been compelled to retire on account of ill- ness and that Palma had been chosen by the council of ministers on De- cember 13 as acting president. The message was sent by Palma himself. Street Fight Kills General. Palma was driven out because, in ‘the opinion of the military junta which executed the coup, he had taken over an office which rightfully belonged to another—Gen! Mauro de leon, Secretary of War. Gen. de Léon had been appointed iby the general assembly last March as the first designate to succeed to the presidenc designate. * In the street ‘Rignting “which took place in Guatemala yy before ester . according 38* re- ed vey the Guatemala Legation here, “Gon. dé Leon was killed. ty Governs Recognition. the military junta, which drove out Palma and installed Gen. Orel- lana, was supported by the Liberal party, according to word received by the legation. The legation also was informed that the junta was moving to bring about tranquillity and to restore a constitutional government. The question of American recogni- tion of a new government in Guate- mala must be considered from a background formed by a treaty signed here in 1923 by the five Central American republics. In this treaty, the republics pledged themselves not to recognize a Cen- tral American government .that had come into power through a .coup d’etat or a revolution. Recognition, it was agreed, would have to be pre- ceded by a constitutional election. May Not Accept Orellana. It was further stipulated that, to win recognitidn, the new government would have to be headed by some one other than a man or the relative of & man who had been a leader in the coup or zevolution. Thus it would appear that some one other than Gen. Orellana must be elected as president before recog- nition will be extended by the other four Central. Amefican republics and the United States. The United States, while it did not sign the treaty of 1923, was heartily in accord with it, and to follow the recognition policy it laid down. ~ Guatemala, which borders on Mex- ico, has a population of 2,500,000.

Richmond, Va., Dec. 17 (AP.).— Transients should take notice that “entrance requirements” for aid lists of Richmond welfare organizations have teen raised. Men coming to this city in the future and asking for assistance because they are with- out employment will be required to pass @ “five-hour work test,” it was announced today. The plan, to be inaugurated Mon- day by the Salvation Army, Y. M. C. A. and City Bureau of Parks and Recreation co-operating, is to allow all applicants for aid to work for five hours at manual labor in Bryan Park. Two hours of work will pay for & night’s lodging at the associa- tion, building and the other three hours will provide for that number of meals at. the -Army headquarters. Then having: worked for five hours, the man may ‘spend the rest of his day ‘looking for regular employment. hose who refuse to do the work will get nothing, W. M. Lee, genera! secretary of the Y. M.

Barnes was arrested several months ago, and after a hearing before United States Commissioner Needham C Turnage was held for the grand fury. which indicted him. Justice Luhring in ordering the directed verdict sus- tained a motion of Defense Attorney Bertrand Emerson who claimed that the defendant had not been properly identified.

Six months for each check.” According to the United States at- torney’s office, the man used the ten checks to purchase clothing, later selling the merchandise to a second-hand store. Hagerstown Gets Weather Station. Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 17 (Special) — weather station is to be located at the Hagerstown airport, the De- partment of Commerce announced to- day. An attendant will be sent here as soon as the equipment is placed. and hourly reports will be furnished the U. S. Weather Bureau. Up to this deal the District Com- | missioners have acquired 68 per cent | of the large tract of property on which the Municipal Center will be erected. The cost so far has been $4,400,000, whereas only $6,000,000 has been appropriated for all the pur- chases on the site. An additional appropriation will probably have to be made, Maj. Robb said yesterday, or Congress wfil have to permit the District to use other funds or rents obtained from the property already bought to buy the entire tract, as it is costing more than anticipated. The authorization for the purchase was 86,000,000, but the District originally asked more. Rents from the paoperty bfing the District $5,000 a month now, and some of this might be used for the purchases with the permission of Congress, Maj. Robb said.

He had been active in the Senate's de- liberations up until Friday when he left for St. Albans, Elected to the House of Represen- tatives in 1912, Senator Greene rep- resented Vermont in the House for ten years before he was sent to the Senate in 1922. Slightly paralyzed and his speech impaired by the trage- dy two years later, he was, neverthe- less, reelected in 1928. Thereafter he was alert to the business of the chamber, though he never took the floor in debate. Senator Greene had been optimistic as to the outcome of Monday's oper- ation, and up until yesterday his re- covery appeared assured. In the late afternoon, however, he went into a gradual decline. His wife and a daughter, Mrs. Harris Alexander, were at his bedside at his death. Two sons, Stuart, of Boston, and -Capt. Richard, Greene, U.’S. A., stationed at Fort Sill, also survive him. _ Vice President Curtis appointed a committee of twenty senators to at- tend the funeral, including Senators Dale, Gillett, Walsh of Massachusetts, Biease, Reed, McMaster, Hatfield, Pat- terson,, Fletcher, Sheppard, Black, Brock, Hatris, Deneen; Fes@ Caraway, Kendrick, Shortridge, King and Gould, ‘Senator Greene's life story was the well-Known one of an ambitious lad rising to high éstate from small be- ginnings. Born in St. Albans, 60 years ago, he was the son of Lester Bruce Greene, at one time secretary | and treasurer of the Brotherhood of | Locomotive Engineers. Family reverses forced him to give up school and go to work at the age of 13, at first as an errand boy in the | audit office of the Central Vermont Railway. By studying in his spare | moments he gradually advanced until | he became successively stenographer |and then chief clerk, In 1891 he went to work for the S8t. Albans Daily Messenger and became its editor in 1899. During the war with Spain, Senator Greene served in the State National Guard, enlisting as a private and ris- ing to the rank of captain. At the close of the war he was commissioned a colonel and aid de camp on the staff of the Governor of Vermont. Senator Greene left newspaper work for politics in 1902 when he was elect- ed to the Vermont House of Represen- tatives. He was a delegate at large | to the Republican national conven- tion in 1908, and went to Congress in 1912 to serve out the unexpired term of the late David J. Foster. Underwent Two Operations.

A dramatic incident occurred during the period of his convalescence, when he insisted on being carried into the; Senate chamber to vote in support of Presi- dent Coolidge’s veto of the 1924 bonus bill. Although the Senate appropriated $7,500 to cover hospital expenses of the stricken. senator, he declined to collect, and the money remains in the Treasury to this day. Although a slightly paralyzed right arm was the only mark he carried as the result of his unfortunate experi- ence, he had declined in strength in the last year or two. On January 11, 1929, he collapsed on the Senate floor while crowded galleries were listening to a heated debate on the Kellogg Treaty. Treated by Senator Copeland in a cloakroom nearby, he afterward returned to the floor, Watson Laments Tragedy. Senator Watson yesterday charac- terized his shooting in 1924 as “one of the tragedies of our public life.” “Senator Greene has been the re- cipient of universal sympathy as a re- sult of that accident,” he said. “He was a man of great intellect, a fine scholaf and he was wonderfully equipped for, his public office. His service in the House was outstanding and his election to the Senate was taken as a matter of course. We all sincerely mourn his. passing.” Senator Greene was crossing an alley off Pennsylvania avenue, between Third street and John Marshall place northwest, when the bullet struck him which blighted his career. The senator was returning with his wife to their rooms at the Driscol Hotel. Pro- hibition Agent Otis E. Fisher and two Washington policemen were in close pursuit of suspected liquor runners nearby, exchanging shots as they gave chase. Senator Greene’s head was pierced by a stray. bullet. Commission’s Red Tape Bill Voted Favorably Favorable report was voted yester- day by the Senate District committee on the bill sponsored by the District Commissioners to relieve them of cer- tain administrative duties required by law. The,measure would permit signing of official papers by the secretary of the Board of Commissioners; in his absence, by another person designated by the Commissioners, -provided the transactions covered in the papers have had approval of the Board of Commissioners.

PLEAS MADE ON FLOOR Continued from Page 1. amount of $60,000,000 being men- tioned, Warburton said. no amouht |was in the bill he prepared, and Aswell admitted that he took the amount from the committee of State secretaries of agriculture. Representa- tive Purnell, of Indiana, finally relieved the wrangle by suggesting that “apparently there has been & sincere mistake all around.” — As to how this “sincere mistake” was’ transmitted to Senator McNary remains to be publicly developed. One other point that remains to this bill is how the apparently re- liable report got out, after the con- ference of Mr: Hoover and Senator Robinson, the Sunday night before Congress convened, that he and the President had agreed upon this bill as a part of the harmony program. This bill and the mystery attend- ing it came very near alienating the President from the Semate as aA whole, ‘not simply the Progressives and Democrats, and it may do 50 yet, but in the meantime private ad- missions are growing in number that as an economic measure, or its utili- ty in the present distress, it is the “bunk.” Stubborn Fight Likely. The low-down seems to be that the administration, anticipating that demands would be made for the drought-stricken farmers, decided it could spare $25,000,000 or an author- ization for that amount, toward stopping the howls. It does not want to go so far, however, as to introduce the proposition of the Government lending money for food, clothing and medical supplies. It is willing to loan some money for seeds and ani- mal food. In other words, the political na- ture of this bill is becoming very ap- parent and the economic situation is notexpected to be greatly affected whether it passes or not. This being true, the fight on it is likely to be very stubborn and bitter. Senators Watson and Robinson united yesterday in insisting, how- ever, that thefe must be no Christ- mas recess until it and the public works bill are enacted, and late in the afternoon the President tele- phoned Senator Watson and Minority Léader Tilson to make every effort to pass them before the recess. It is safe to say that the public works bill will be. It is really important. The efforts of Senate Republican leaders to keep “issues” from develop- ing between the Senate and White House were apparent in at least two instances. Stage Set for Slap. One was in the case of the La- Follette resolution designed as an answer to the President’s refusal Tuesday to submit to the Senate the report of Col. Arthur Woods, his un- employment director, The President's letter of refusal, while reading a little curt, was after all a simple statement of facts. Senator LaFollette imme- diately introduced a resolution direct- ing various Senate committees to call Col. Woods, John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, and Director of the Budget Roup, and authorizing the Senate appropriations ‘committee to provide funds for the various committees to press their sub- penas. The stage, in short, was set for another slap at the President. Senator Watson rushed in just be- fore the vote and insisted that the Senate pass the resolution wunani- mously, that there was no reason why the committees should not hear these men if they wanted to. In other words, he made what loomed as a very big matter seem very, very small. Later when Senator Jones was pro- posing that the Senate recede on its amendments to the public works bill, Sneator Watson pleaded that the Senate vote its obligations as it saw them without any attending denun- clation of the President. It was as if he said: “If we disagree with him on this matter, let’s just vote and shut up.” “We are not justified in question- ing the motives and sincerity of the President,” he said. Senator McKellar wouldn’t let it go that. way, however, and as a result it was right embarrassing to him when his tirade was interrupted by the announcement that Senator Greene Was dead. Makes good times better Esrey John be developed in the mystery about) Margin Smallest Ever Given Government; Future Plans Left in Doubt. FIGHT LAW CONTINUANC London, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—By the marrow majority of only 6 votes, the smallest it has ever been accorded, Premier Ramsay MacDonald's minis- try survived a division in the House of Commons tonight., Its ‘ however, leads to almost as critical position as if it had been defeated. The vote came on an amendment inserted by the House of Lords in the expiring laws continuance bill which proposed prolongation of the dyestuffs, act for another year. The government was anxious to abolish this act on mons did so, and the expiring laws bill thus returns to.the Lords for further consideration. In well-infoérmed circles it was be- lieved tonight the Lords, especially since the encouragement they fre- ceived from the narrowness of the government’s majority, would insist on their amendment. In that case the government either would have to bow to their wishes, which was con; sidered unlikely, or run the risk of another division, which might well be even closer than that of tonight. Another alternative would be for the governmnet to throw overboard the whole expiring laws bill. Here again Mr. MacDonald is ina diffi- cult position because the passage of this bill is necessary’ to secure: the continuance of various measures, in- cluding the rent restrictions 9gct, which the government is most eager to preserve. 3 David Lloyd George, the Liberal chieftain, was not in the House when the division was calied. The narrowness of the government's escape was emphasized by the dis- closure that about twelve Conserva~-: tives neitRer were in the House nor paired for the division. Had this party polled its full strength the MacDonald government would have been defeated. Coage Supported As Deed Recorder District Group Favorab Reports Choice of Ne- gro for Post. Jefferson 8.

This is not all of them, of course, but enough to show the diversity of minds, well, ordinarily a diversity, but striving now for a common ground. ° . e id T is so funny because if there Is one thing sure and certain in this world it is that Mr. McNinch is a Hoovercrat, a leader of the Hoover- realiy it's just an eulogy to the} crats in North Carolina in 1928, which . unquestionably, the gentleman had a right to be, . But just as definite and concrete as this proposition is the fact that he is being appointed to the power commission as a Democrat.

We are not quareling with the logic or purpose of any of these gentlemen, but isn’t it most unusual?

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FIGHTS RULING REVERSING DRY LAW Continued from Page 1. invalid bécause it had ndét been rati- fied. by constitutional conventions rather than by State Legislatures, continued to arouse lively interest on Capitol Hill, Point Hotly Debated. Some senators and representatives agreed with the contention raised yes- terday by Antisaloon League lawyers that this point had been brought be- fore the Supreme Court by Elihu Root in 1920, and had been decided adversely. Others expressed hope that Clark’s decision would pro- ‘prove successful before the high court. Representative Beck (Republican), Pennsylvania, a former solicitor gen- eral and a foe of prohibition, said he could. see “no real reason why the date, the eighteenth amendment,” but added he felt it improbable “at this late day.” Senator Sheppard. (Democrat), Texas, a coauthor of the amendment, said he thought Clark’s position, “un- tenable.” He added he felt certain it would be overruled. Congressional Authority Sustained. ; A.cloge study of Supreme de- cisions disclosed that on June I, 19 the triburial handed down a. unani- mous decisiéfi sustaining the auther- }u Congress to determine whether pro odnstitutional: amendments shall be submitted to State legisla- tures or conventions. The effect of the opinion was to place the Supreme Court on record guage of the article is plain and ad- in ng the authority of Con- gress to submit the eighteneth amend- ment, as it did, to the legislatures of the several States. “All of the amendments to the Constitution have been submitted with a requirement for legislative rati- fication; by this method all of them have ben adopted,” Justice Day stated in handing down the opinion. “The fifth article is a grant of authority by the people to Congress The determination of the method of ratification is the exercise of a na- tional power specifically granted by the Constitution; that power is con- ferred upon Congress, and is limited to two methods by action of the legis- latures of three-fourths of the States or conventions in a like number of States.

Carnell emphatically denied that he had shot the bus operator and said the’ man had shot himself. He even asserted that two blocks from the Bush home he stopped out of )reath from his ‘run and realized that he was still carrying the pistol by its barrel. “When Mr. Bush stepped out of his car, I stepped toward him and, from a distance of about three feet, * | said, ‘Stick ’em. up!’ ‘Who are you, and what do you want?’ Mr. Bush asked. ‘Your money!’ I said, hit- ting him on the head with the butt of the pistol. That didn’t stop and he lunged toward me and with his. weight * forced me back against some hard object, the edge of the door or a part of the other parked automobile. I. was stunned, * telt the blood trickling down my back and I dropped the gun. Claims Bush Shot Himself. “Mr. Bush then rushed me, grabbed me by the lapel of my overcoat with his left hand and with his right hand groped for the gun, I groped too, jand in the struggle Mr. Bush got the pistol. Then I grabbed the barrel and we struggled for possession. I was fighting for my life and I don’t remember all that happened. I re- member hearing one shot. Then an- other. The man sald, ‘Tm shot,’ and I ran.” Mahoney told how he had obtained the pistol from William C. “McKay, who ‘was jointly’ indicted with him and Carnell, but who obtained a sep- arate trial.. He corroborated McKay’s testimony of Tuesday relative to the fact that the pistol belonged to him (Mahoney) and that McKay at his suggestion had Obtained it from the man to whom it had been pawned only two days before. “We went to McKay's and got the pistol, and I gave it to Carnell. We asked McKay if he knew where we could find some easy money. Then we drank and talked a while and Carnell and I left.” Mahoney then related how he and Carnell’s story regarding the events before he entered the garage differed slightly from Mahoney’s. ‘ Both Carnell and Mahoney were subjected to a gruelling cross-exami- nation by Assistant United States At- torney William H. Collins. Carnell denied statements made by McKay in his testimony that the de- fendant had threatened to put him on the gpot if he “squealed.” He also denied that there had been any talk of a stick-up until after they had ob- tained the gun; and declared he had never discussed the Bush affair with McKay. The death gun, he said, was thrown in the river, and when Justice Gordon asked who threw it in, the witness said } + did. Mahoney, under cross-examination was asked: “Was there any reason why Catfnell went into the alley instead of you?” Afraid of Recognition. ‘Yes, I was afraid Mr. Bush would bg me.” The witness previous- ly had admitted that he had worked for Mr. Bush’s bus line up until Sep- tember 4, last. Mahoney in his testimony declared he had been drinking excessively since his wife left him September 16, and this testimony was corroborated by Mrs. A. L. Harper, of 28 Bates street, an aunt, and John Mahoney, an uncie, also of that address. Ma- honey lived there after his wife left, anti both witnesses said he returned home on the night of the shooting of Mr. Bush at 10:10 o’clock.

Chisholm, jr. engineer on the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, said preservation of one of the most beau- tiful assets of Virginia would attend the construction of the George Wash- ington Memorial Parkway, from Mount Vernon to Great Falls. “Contrary to the view of many,” said Capt. Chisholm, “the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion has not sought to take from nearby Virginia its waterfront, which might justly be used for commercial development, but has zoned all that portion within the corporate limits of the City of Alexandria as the logi- cal section. for industrial develop- ment.” “The District of Columbia is ready and willing to cooperate with the City of Alexandria, but I have yet to see Alexandria make @ move to- ward cooperation.” Citing many sections of the coun- try where the citizens have failed to have vision and to aid in progress, he said that so long as people hold their hands nothing will be done, Refers to Rosslyn, “Does Rosslyn need a water front?” asked Capt.

Our plan is to connect Rosslyn with the new Memorial Bridge. “You can not use the water front in Rosslyn for commercial develop- ment without the use of elevators to remove the products manufactured or brought in. Stick to the railroads and freight can better be handled through Alexandria. “We are only too willing to coop- erate with you, but come and tell us what you want. “We want to develop the shores of the Potomac along the lines approved by the masses, not the individuals Lay your cards on the table and we will be right with you and aid in the proper development.” Hugh E. Kirby, member of the board of directors of the Arlington County Chamber of Commerc, spoke on the advantages of the develop- ment of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. He said that with the offer, as made by Congress, for its development and the willing- ness to advance Virginia’s share for a period of eight years without in- terest, the State could not afford to sit by and lose the greatest oppor- — ever offered to any State. Haste Is Urged. “Congress has created a bicenten- nial commission and set aside the time between February 22 and Thanksgiving Day, ‘1932, for the cele- bration of the 200th birthday of George Washington, and I feel that if we do not get work under way for —* parkway: prior ot that date it will t be co d,” Mr, Kirby said. “wile. ‘there. are powerful efforts against. the project, there are also strong interests in favor of it, and those interests are growing daily. “I appeal to this organizatich and all other organizations in Arlington County to get behind. this movement and help make the parkway possible, ‘| thereby giving to Virginia one of the greatest developments in its history.” Theodore M. Artaud, of the Park and Planning Commission, said: “Vir- ginia produced the first President of our country, the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and mnay other great men, and I can not see how now she can refuse the offer the Federal Government is mak- ing in aiding in this great develop- ment of the shores of the Potomac River.” The newly elected officers are Will- iam M. Brozton, president; Charles J. Johnson, vice president; Clifford FP. Smith, secretary, and E. Nelson Kloman, tresaurer. W. E.

Smith con- spiracy case, involving three former officers of the firm, dragged along to adjournment yesterday afternoon with a defense prayer for instructions to the jury under consideration by Justice William’ Hite. Twenty-one particulars were contained in the de- fense , eighteen of which were heard yesterday. Justice Hitz granted nine of them, denied six, and took three under advisement. The remain- ing three will be heard today. Barly in the day the Government sprang a surprise upon the defense by resting ite case without rebuttal testimony. Defense attorneys had been obviously disturbed when the prosecution announced” Tuesday that it would occupy most of yesterday in rebuttal testimony. The decision of the Government to rest its case without rebuttal per- mite testimony. of G. Bryan Pitts, former chairman of the board of the Smith company, to stand unchal- lenged. Pitts had testified that all re- ceipts of Smith company funds by him, charged by the Government as embezziements, were legitimately due him from .corporations. which he owned in their. entirety. Testimony Exonerates Anadale. His testimony also exonerated C. Elbert Anadale and John H. Edwards, jr., former vice presidents of the firm, of any complicity in’ the use of such funds, The Government's indict- ment charges Anadalé, Edwards and Pitts with conspiracy to embezzle Smith company funds and to conceal records of the comipany. The Government's decision to rest its case without rebuttal testimony came as a surprise not only to the defense, but to Daniel R. Crissinger, former comptroller of currency, and once connected with the Smith com- pany, who had been routed out of bed at 7 o’clock to appear as a prose- cution witness. Mr. Crissinger was in court ready to testify when Nugent Dodds, Assistant Attorney General, announced that the prosecution was ‘ready to proceed with arguments. Neither he nor Mr. Dodds gave any reason for the Government's unex- pected move. Immediately after the prosecution rested, the defense, through Frank G. Raichle, entered a motfon for a di- rected verdict of not guilty. Dismiss- ing the jury from the courtroom, Justice Hitz heard arguments of at- torneys on the motion, finally over- ruling it. Defense Prayer Offered. The defense prayer for instruction to the jury was then offered and arguments were heard with the jury absent. In its arguments for its prayer the defense brought out at least three major issues upon which it will probably base its arguments before the jury. First, the defense contends, evi- dence offered by the Government in support of the 95 charges Of embez- ziement in its bill of particulars and in its charges of c6ncealment is en- tirely circumstantial. Second, the defense relies on spe- cific ‘charges im the indictment to contend that the Government has spread its evidence over transactions involving’ three separate corporations, not one of which is the F. H. Smith Co. Jury May Get Case Today. Third, the defense contends that the Government has not proved a4 conspiracy and has asked the judge so to charge the jury. This request, in so far as it relates to the point that a conspiracy must involve two Or more persons, will be granted by Justice Hitz, and the jury so charged. The case may be given to the jury this afternoon, depending upon the length of attorneys’ arguments. Jus- tice Hitz has yet to consider three items in the prayer of the defense, which wiljl likely be disposed of early this morning. After that, attorneys will launch into arguments, prior to giving the case to the jury of ten men and two women. the intersection of Washington and Clarendon avenues, opposite the com- munity tree, to be placed in the circle on Wilson boulevard. * The tree will be — ran aSturday night by members of the American Legion in the circle where the Legion Memorial is to be set up.

Miss Lillian Turner, beauty shop proprietor at Yunction City, Kans. pene Fort Riley, testified Mrs. Shepard “staggering drunk” at 11 a. m., }. May 20, 1929, when she called to have her hair dressed. That was the day she was seized with the fatal illness.

A pretty story came out of the palace today. who were close to the king during the recent tense days and nights revealed that his ad- ‘visers. had a hard’ time preventing ‘Alfonso from putting aside the ‘weightier cares of state, donning 4 uniform and taking an active part in ‘the open warfare against the revolu- tionists at Cuatro Vientos Air Field. Only by pointing out that his safety was essential to the welfare of the kingdom were they able to dissuade the king from his determination. It was characteristic of his disre- gard of danger to his person, and he gave another example of it this morn- riage with only a skeleton guard to the Church of San Francisco and par- ticipated in the Bolivar centennial services. The “inside story” of the revolu- tion was revealed today in a state- ment by Niceto Alcala Zamora, whom the revolutionists proclaimed “presi- dent of the republic” on Saturday. From his prison cell he told how the plot had begun months ago and was to have flowered in a general strike to begin simultan¢ously in all cities last Monday morning. Began Ahead of Time. Two things wrecked the. program. The commandante of the garrison ‘at Jaca lost his head” and began a4 mutiny three days ahead of time; and dissension developed among the plotters themselves. One group wanted a Communist revolution with a Communist government to fol- low it, and the other group would not hear of any such thing. Zamora and his associates, all of whom are in prison, said they were ready to take the consequences of their acts, whatever they might be. Refugees were moving out of Spain ing when he drove in an open.car-/; into Portugal and France, .but few people thought there was any fur- ther of serious uprisings.

Four Killed tn Andalusia, - Seville, Spain, Dec. 17 (A.P.). —Four persons were killed today as the result of strike riots in the province of Andalusia. Barcelona, Dec. 17 (N.Y.W.N.S.) (By telephone from Cerbere, uncensored). The a rag government is openly ac- cused by the people of this great Mediterranean seaport of having a nervous breakdown as a result of the revolutionary movement in favor of a republic. The series of orders and counterorders emanating from Mad- rid regarding proclamation and en- forcement of martial law has given the populace here the impression of disorder in a government unable to maintain a firm policy. The Catalonians, being on the whole rather bored spectators of events, are now becoming apprehen- sive of the increased power of the military and consequent violations of their personal liberty. The calling out here this morning of special con- stables was much resented as was the refusal of the government to allow | foreign newspapers to enter. ‘ (Copyright, 1930.) Rioting Continues, Alicante, Spain, Dec 17 (A.P.).—(By Telephone to London) .—Rioting and disorder continued throughout this afternoon and early tonight in Ali- cante and nearby towns, which are the centers of some of the most serious, of the many revolutionary Strikes now existing throughout Spain. Police and civil guards, aided -by ‘a detachment of the famous Spanish Foreign Legion, have attempted to re- store order, but the situation is great- ly confused, with telegraph lines down, telephone service uncertain and trains greatly delayed. Machine guns were mounted at all strategic points throughout the city tonight. Dispatches from Elche says that serious fighting occurred there today between strikérs* and police, with numerous casualties on hoth sides. Civil guards arrested a revolutionary committee in the town of Monovar. Jails are jammed with prisoners.

There is every indication that ‘the House will sustain the position “of its committee and refuse to be ‘stampeded into granting: a dole to “farmers of drought-stricken States. » There is nothing left for the Senate to , do but to recede from its absurd position ‘and send the bill to the President. - The case against this proposed raid Von the Treasury is now very clear. The «Secretary of Agriculture says there is “no need for an appropriation of more than $25,000,000 for relief of farmers Sin the drought areas. This will enable sthem to buy seed, feed for live. stock, * fertilizer, &c. Beyond that the Govern- sment can not go, without putting farmers on the dole. If farmers were ut on the dole workingmen without fjobs would have to be treated in the i same way. .Within a short time the 7 Government would be facing such finan- ®cial chaos as now confronts Great Sritain and Germany. The whole “economic system would be weakened; the incentive to throw off the depres- sion would be lulled to sleep by dreams got easy money from the Government; eidleness, hunger and crime would weave ‘their tentacles into the very fabric of ®the economic structure. — When the tension of the present emergency has passed the absurdity of is proposal to feed farmers from the yTreasury will be more apparent. The »Government is trying to induce farmers raise smaller crops so that over- production and low prices may be “avoided. Should the Government at the ‘game time appropriate money to feed “farmers who raise so much food that _Sthey can’t dispose of it? There is no “shortage of food in the United States, tand there will be none. The drought ‘did not affect food crops to any notice- -able extent. If the farmer is given ‘means to carry his live stock through ‘the winter and to plant his crops next spring, Congress can do no more with- *out opening the Treasury to a universal demand for a dole. ;, The other factor which tends to clar- ify the situation is the announcement. ‘by Jehn Barton Payne, chairman of the ‘American Red Cross, that his organiza- -tion is prepared to handle all direct re- lief work arising from the drought “emergency. The Red Cross is the proper | “agency to administer charity to those in ‘distress because of the drought. A $5,000,000 emergency reserve fund is ‘available for this purpose, and if that is exhausted the American people will ,supply more. >» Let the Red Cross get busy and pro- tae) ught area.

Federal Judge William Clark, sitting at Newark, N. J., holds that the eighteenth amendment is invalid because it was ratified by the legislatures of the several States and not by constitutional conventions. Apparently Judge Clark does not deny that the Constitution provides that ratification by either method shall be valid. He seems to base his decision upon his opinion that a con- stitutional convention would be composed of a higher class of men than a legislature; and that a question of such importance as the transfer of the police power from the States to the Federal Government should’ be passed upon by the most intelligent authority ob- tainable. This Federal judge takes the liberty of deciding that the Constitution should be construed according to his ideas of the — ciples of “political science.”’ It is astounding that a jurist should asi a decision upon such a foundation. Congress and the States chose one of two ways to amend the Constitution. Either way is valid. Judge Clark presumes to declare that the work of Congress and the States is invalid because in his opinion the other method would have been preferable. That this decision will be swept aside as rubbish is a foregone conclusion. The Con- stitution means what it says, not what a Federal judge would like to have it say. The only damage resulting from this decision will be the damage to Judge Clark’s prestige as a jurist. WORLD COURT MUST WAIT. The Senate committee on foreign relations has wisely postponed until next December a report on the world court treaty. If anything can be postponed to advantage it is the proposal that the United States en- tangle itself in European political organiza- tions. It is now trying to disentangle itself from the complications resulting from its association with European nations in the late war. Those nations borrowed immense sums from the United States. The debts were greatly reduced by this Government, but the borrowers are trying to avoid paying even these reduced amounts. During the ensuing year the people will have an opportunity to study the world court proposal and discover its true import. Many of them have accepted without question the statement that the United States Government first proposed a world court of justice and that the pending proposal merely puts into effect what Americans have always desired. This is a totally false statement. What the United States Government proposed was a genuine world court of justice., What is now proposed is».a counterfeit, skillfully dis- guised in the hope that Americans will be focled into believing it genuine. The Senate committee will call well- informed individuals before it, to throw light upon the court and the conditions under which foreign governments will permit the United States to come under the court’s jurisdiction. The committee should endeavor to obtain the testimony of Sir Cecil Hurst, of England, the chief author of the formula by which foreign governments hope to nullify the Senate’s. fifth reservation. He should be asked to explain why foreign governments insist that the court shall be empowered to give advisory opinions on matters of vital concern to America in the face of the objec- tion of the United States. During the interim the Senate committee may consider how and by what authority the United States shall withdraw from the court fh case it should desire to withdraw. The formula prepared by Sir Cecil Hurst and Mr. Root is silent upon this point. The Senate may wish to be consulted upon the question of withdrawal. The committee could also inquire into the method by which a dispute between the United States and another government would be submitted to the court. All arbitration treaties provide that a dispute before being referred to arbitratioh shall be made the sub- ject of a special agreement to be approved by the Senate. The world court treaty con- tains no such provision. Perhaps the Senate will wigh to be consulted before a case is submitted to the world court. METALCLAD AIRSHIPS. When the War Department supply bill is A placed before Congress an effort will be made to have included an item appropriating $200,000 to complete the scientific research and engineering studies essential to provide the basic design for a 100-ton, 100-mile per hour metalclad airship for the United States Army. The proposed craft would be an elaboration on a practical scale of the ex- perimental metalclad airship ZMC-2, which the Navy has had in operation for upwards of two years. Despite the disaster that befell the British R-101 almost at the inception of its recent flight to India, the airship has proved its practicability. The Graf Zeppelin climaxed its several transatlantic flights with a round- the-world cruise. The Los Angeles has, made many noteworthy flights. Some 600 people have flown across the North Atlantic in non- stop flights, of whom 564, or 94 per cent, made the crossing in dirigibles, while only 37, or 6 per cent, flew in airplanes. Eleven attempts to span the Atlantic by dirigible were all successful, and resulted in no loss of life, while of 39 attempts to make the crossing by airplane only 15 were successful, and many lives were lost. Dirigibles on each of their crossings carried considerable pay load, whereas in the airplane crossings no pay load whatsoever was carried. Perfection of the process of adapting all- metal construction to the airship promises to make it one of the safest and most prac- ticable of all transportation agencies. Maj. G. Herbert Scott, director of airship develop- ment for the British air ministry, said re- cently: “The fabric covering still presents the most serious problem in airship construction ) and operation.” In an address delivered be- tore —— ‘Asséelstion tor is: dva ment of Science four weeks to the R-101 disaster, in which he Was one of the victims, Lieut. Col. V. C, Richmond, designer of the R-101, said: “Filled with helium and driven by engines burning heavy oil fuel and sheathed in metal, there is no reason why the airship should not become the safest form of transport. yet devised.” Dr. Ing. Bleistein, chief engineer during the, war: of the Shutte-Lanz airship works, spéaking be- fore a German scféntifié assdciation, ‘said: “When American experience is available. to our German airship works then we shall turn to the building of metalclad airships.” Sir C. Dennistoun Burney, builder of the R-100, in commenting on the R-101 disaster, said: “I feel that until we get away from all this fabric work we shall never get a first-class vessel.” Similar opinions are held by American experts and engineers. The organization responsible for the entire development of the metalclad idea exists in- tact. Unless the Government evidences an intention to utilize its services through a congressional appropriation to start.the work for the proposed Army metalclad airship, that organization may be forced to disband. With its monopoly of helium and with an organization trained and experienced in metalclad airship construction available, the United States is in a position to command world leadership in this new and revolution- ary development. Congress should insist that the work preliminary to the construction of metalclad dirigibles be got under way. FEED THE BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS. The first snow of the winter emphasizes the distress of the birds and animals that inhabit the public parks. Because of the drought of last summer: there is a scarcity of the food upon which the squirrels and other wild creatures generally sustain them- selves through the winter. The Office of Public Buildings and Parks is trying to care for these creatures, but its facilities are limited and it has appealed to suburban resi- dents to scatter crumbs and other feed in the vicinity of their homes. | It would be a great pity if the wild life of the public parks were depleted through starvation this winter. Washingtonians should not only undertake to ‘feed the in- habitants of brush and tree in the vicinity of their homes but also in the public parks. _ | FARMERS, IN DIRE, NEED To the Editor of The Post—Sir:. I want to give you a bit of information concerning the terrible drought that has befallen Virginia and some of the other States. If you will publish my letter in your paper it may come to the eyes. of Mr. Hoover and to those of the senators who seem to feel the need of the sorely afflicted people in the drought- stricken regions. I am giving you the truth. I am a farmer in’ the northern neck of | All Virginia—that is, the land lying between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers—usually a fertile country, especially adapted to the raising of garden vegetables, melows, all sorts of truck, tomatoes, &c. Corn crops and wheat usually very good. This year we had a good wheat crop, generally, throughout the northern neck, but the dry weather began in March, not so dry as to injure the wheat, but to retard the usual luxuriant growth of corn. On our farm, which we tenant entirely—as labor is too high to permit working it with hired labor—the tenant who planted corn early had a good promise, which later was cut short two-thirds. The tenant who planted corn late made three barrels of nubbins on ten acres. He worked our team, so we got half—that is, 1% barrels. The last crop on that fleld was ten barrels to the acre—fine corn. I usually have a splendid garden: Sweet corn, planted five or six successions; every kind of vegetables in abundance, cabbage to keep all winter, turnips, carrots, parsnips, oyster plant, pumpkins, &c. This year the first planting of sweet corn alone developed. the other plantings were blighted— burned up. Lettuce I planted three different times; none of it came up; neither did parsnips come up. All the winter cabbage was killed by the sun. Turnips only grew to be little roots. We had no carrots, parsnips or oyster plant. Sweet potatoes failed. Irish potatoes yielded 3 bushels, where we usually got 25 bushels. Today we have not one thing to eat that grew on our farm—not one atom of food. We have fowls to eat, and some to sell, which I wanted to sell to buy food with. I sent nine hens and pullets to a poultry man today to sell to buy vegetables with. He would not give me but 12 cents a pound. I reasoned this way: I had better eat my fowls and go without vegetables than give them away. This very day poultry of the size I ‘tried to sell is quoted in your paper, The Post, at 24 cents to 25 cents a pound. People here are in terrible need. Their poultry brings nothing. Butter is 48 to 50 cents a pound in the stores. Turkeys bring 15 cents a pound, poultry 12 cents a pound. The fields are perfectly clean of grass. Our cows need feed. They can not give us butter or milk. We can not sell any wood from off our farms. The excelsior business is stone dead. The men who usually cut wood in winter are idle. There is not a sawmill at work anywhere, There are usually five or six within ten or twenty miles around us. Under the plan for loaning money to farmers to buy food we would be no better off. The loan will have to be paid back in ,a year—and 1931 will see bare fields and impoverished people, with not one thing to eat until spring and summer bring food—if it rains enough to bring it. I am old. I have a large family dependent on me, and if kind nephews and nieces had not sent me canned vegetables I would not have one mouthful to eat except poultry and bread, and some little milk. I am simply hoping that faraway kind relations may help us out. Our income barely pays a man and a cook. I would cook, but am too old to do that con- tinuously, but I work hard at other things. I think that many others are in my condi- tion, and many in a worse condition. Our well is dry, as most in the neighborhood are, but we have a fine spring, for which we are devoutly thankful, We usually get from $200 to $300 or $400 from tomatoes from tenants. This year we got 76 cents from one tenant, and a debt of I would not sell'them, as. eR: ee ee ae Te nS ⸗ Ae ae, Eh ees ee * 3 * ext Ye ; The Impatient Spectator. ba — es —* Poe hacia: — — eo a: — J J J gis a aes J —* an ee * * tig a pe 4 * oa Agito ‘ on * * nas “ — — — — —adelphia Public Ledger. $4 on fertilizer from another. Now the tenant whose crop cleared . 76 cents for me got twice as much, as he works his team, so he gets two- thirds. He got $1.52. He is a hard- working, industrious man. He has a large family. After paying his fer- tilizer bill he had $1.52. He usually has a large crop of sweet potatoes. He has none this year—no garden food. He is brave, and tries to get work. There is no work of any kind. Don’t you think he needs help? And before “nine months’ elapse? A food center in every stricken county would relieve the situation. Let the Red Cross use its money to}. buy canned food and distribute it to needy people. Canned tomatoes are cheap now. Buying them now would relieve the market, so that next year tomatoes would bring a good price, and tomatoes are healthy food. All that stored wheat distributed would relieve the wheat market for another year. - Buy the food and let the Red Cross distribute it. Don’t make loans to suffering people who can not see a way to pay it back. I can’t pay that fertilizer debt. I could not sell my clover seed. I only got 80 cents anti 73 cents per bushel for our wheat. I could not pay all of the fertilizer bill, and keep any wheat for bread. I have not been able to pay our taxes. A barrel of. flour would help me and many a poor family around me, but not a big loan, which would make me sleepless, wondering how I could pay it back. The corn we have can’t possibly feed our horses and four cows, We have very little feed. We are trying to be brave. Tf have friends who have no water fit to drink. Though we have had rain the effects of the drought are seriously felt yet in the water supply. Couldn’t artesian wells be supplied in those parts where no water is near any one? That would be of far greater help to suffering neighborhoods than loans that would have to be certainly paid back with uncertain crops. All that hoarded wheat that never sent up the price ought to be made into flour and delivered to a central | point in each county most in need, where needy families could get'it. I would thankfully receive a barrel, and most families around me need help to get food. They are brave, they make no ado. Have a food center in every] drought-stricken county, and dis- tribute food at once. Don’t take “nine months” to hold committees and talk and talk. The people need help, and at once. My thanks to the Senate, in the name of all sufferers from the calamitous drought. FP. L. WARD; Lyells, Va., Dec. 16. JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A, GUEST THE VICTORIOUS IDLER.

ERE’S a real idea for a Christ- mas present for a man. Whether he travels in boats and trains, on camels, in caravans, in imagina- tion or in reality, he will love it! He wil) love it if he has never trav~- eled, because it is essentialy a man’s thing. What am I taking about? I am speaking of a map lamp shade, Made of parchment and held to the frame with leather thongs, and put in his den or favorite corner of the living room, to give to dreams or memories a tinge of reality. If you would be clever you can make this yourself, but I warn you it is quite an undertaking. Select the kind of frame that has the slight- est possible amount of difference be- tween the circumference of the top and the bottom, then buy at any school supply store a map of the world in a size that will fit on the lamp shade, trace this, oh, so care- fully onto your parchment, outlining the world with waterproof India ink, then filling in the colors with oil paints. A punch to punch the holes for the thongs, which you buy in the lamp shade supply departments, and your lamp is made! If you and he have taken a trip around the world together, mark the places with stars that you visited, and you might even indulge in a little humor, and mark those where you had little disagreements with a devil or a horned toad or something. . * ° * It is a love, this Bernard et Cie, tailleur with its swanky Russian air!

They are easy to make, too, if you follow the illustrated directions in my leaflet. . > © Haven't you some friend who would just adore an umbrella for Christ- mas? It sounds kind of funny to “adore” an umbrella, I admit, but that’s just what you will do when you see some of them this Christmas. There is an adorable brown silk one, for instance, and the handle is a proud mother doggie and her litter of puppies carved out of wood, and the tips of the spokes are tiny puppies, too. Another very smart black um- brella has a modernistic handle of ebony inlaid with ivory. And wouldn’t any One love a‘ taffeta umbrelia shad- ing from light gray to black, and with a leather handle in. the same shades? O-o-oh any one would be delighted to have such smart accessories to lift the gloom of a rainy day! - . * 7 So look for Dare’s weekly tebthinin letter in The Washington Post every Sunday. Au Revoir! (Copyright, 1930.) Guiding Your Child By. MRS, AGNES LYNE. Making Friends. There is perhaps no element of personality so important to the grow- ing child as his capacity for making friends. From the time he is seven or eight, years old until he has reached ma- in the number of things he learns to do, and in the variety of his satisfactions. Without friends the child can at best develop only in a narrow, pure- ly intellectual way. He does not |learn how to get along with people, and, failing to do so, he misses one of the most important of all the lessons he has to learn. Just -how does a child learn to make friends? First, through being friendly, and, second, through prac- tice in the art of friendship. From the beginning he should have con- tact with children of suitable age. The friendly child is a happy child. Fatigue, nervous strain, harsh or spoiling treatment, jealousy, frequent rages—all these miiltate against send- ing out to play a child who will as- sociate well with others. A child carries over directly into his play the moods of his home. He also, but somewhat less obviously, re- sponds to his playmates in terms of family patterns. If he is jealous of a brother or sister at home, he is likely to behave enviously and hate- fully toward all other children. Especially is the child likely to do this when his jeaous feeings are sup- ats and unadmitted even to him- se The responsibility for developing a friendly child and one who will there- fore have no trouble in making friends rests’ principally with the home, With the above hand at Contract, South bid three hearts and North bid six Hearts. If South had bid two Hearts, North would have bid three Spades, South four Hearts, and North six Hearts. At Auction, South would obtain the contract with a bid of three or four Hearts. | West led the. ‘Queen of Diamonds; and when the Dummy was e Declarer saw that he had every trick except possibly a Spade. South won | the first trick, led a Heart and won with dummy’s Ace. Next the Ace of Clubs and another Club,, ruffed in. the South hand. Then two Hearts to exhaust the adversaries, and after that the Jack of Spades: He won the first Spade trick in dummy, led another Club trumping it in closed hand, and then from closed hand a second Spade, this time finessing. It was captured by East, and South made his small slam; but could he have made one more? THE CORRECT PLAY. It may be said that when you have bid for a small slam in Con- tract, making the. thirteenth trick is immaterial. However, a count of 50 is not to be despised; and if the hand were played in Auction, the making and scoring of the grand slam would depend upon winning the thirteenth trick. In this type of hand, with five Clubs in the dummy, one in closed hand, and a wealth of trumps, the probability is that the adverse Clubs will be divided 4-3. It would be well to find out about that before —E any bridges; so South to Oné more Club from dummy, ed by South, would take out the ig try would enable that hand to the thirteenth Club, on which closed hand would discard a Spade. —— —* ) GOOD NEWS, BRIDGERS, - : We are pleased to announce we can now renew the offer of Mil- ton C.

I have tried begonias and geranftums with little success. They soon turn brown and die. LETTER WITHOUT SIGNATURE. You failed to mention the exposure of your windows. If you have only windows facing the north, try to grow foliage plants like ferns or English ivy, but if you have a southern, east- ern or even a western window, you will find a promula obconica reliable’ in every way. Keep the plant well watered and see that it has plenty of fresh air. Also, remove all faded or dying flowers or foliage every day. Please tell me why my night-bloom- ing cereus does not bloom. It bloom- ed three years ago, but has not bloom- ed since that time. It sets buds, but they soon fall off. MRS. WILLIAM H. K. The night-blooming cereus needs a richer soil than the ordinary run of cactus. Give it a fibrous compost and mix some broken charcoal with it to insure drainage, It requires both heat and fresh air, also water in generous quantities whenever you no- tice the soil appears to be dry. Please tell me how to care for a large century plant. I have just transplanted it, using a good deal of well-rotted cow manure. Is_ this right? Is it well to remove the young shoots that cluster about the center of the plant,.close to the roots? Would it be likely to thrive in a @est window shaded by a porch while in the hote? MRS. C. Although the century plant comes to us from the arid stretches of Southwestern United States and Mex- ico, where it has a strenuous strug- gle for existence, it will respond to good care. During the cool months it will do very well in a lighted base- ment. Stored thus, it requires water only once in two weeks.

In warm rooms water the plants every day. the spring. It has done so well I am delighted with it. Shall I bring it indoors in the winter or is it pef- fectly hardy? JOSEPH H. 8. The flowering maple is not hardy. Bring the plant into a room with a southern window. Shower the foliage once a week with plain water and water the plant every day. It de- mands plenty of fresh air at all times. Please tell me whether Japanese lanterns require much sun. Mine are growing by the side of the garage, and while healthy have not bloomed, B. M.

By HARRY A. DEFERRARI, Ph.D. HE family name Goodrich is the modern form of the older God- rich. Godrich, in turn, is de- rived from a still older form, God- ric. Godric (also spelled Goderic), was an old Anglo Saxon personal mame meaning God-ruler. Many families called Goodrich have re- ceived the name because of a former residence in Goodrich (formerly Gotheridge), in Hereford. The name occurs with a great variety of spell-* ings in early documents. The Hun- dred Rolls mentions the following: Walter Goderiche, William Godriche, Stephen Godrich, and rosius Godridge. The family name. Stringer is of English origin, and may be translated the string-maker and the string- dealer. It was’ applied especially to those persons who made the special Stringfellow, which is found espect- ally. in the northern part of England, may occasionally be a variation of Stringer, although in the great ma- jority of cases it is merely another form. of Strongfellow. Strongfellow came into the English from the Scandinavian, and was first applied as a nickname to strong or severe per- sons. A certain Ricardus Stryngar and a Laurencius Stryngfelagh are mentioned in an English document of the year 1379. The family name Benz has come down to us from two German sources. It is sometimes a modern diminutive form of Bando. Bando was an old Teutonic personal name meaning battle-fiag and symbol.

There was some- thing too frightfully final about that. Lying on her bed she thought out the telegram. * * * “Do not buy cottage, stop. Unforeseen difficulties here ye — HF ailllins td at, at least, would leave her a small loophole. It would not only stop the purchase of the cottage, but would also hint at the possibility that something might interfere with their plans. She would send it, she told herself, as soon as she went out. But immediately thoughts of Slim Diggers and Sandy, and her wild flight up the stairs took possession of her feverish brain. And when she thought of the telegram again, it was too late. Jean would not soon forget those stairs by which, she had at last reached Sandy’s apartment. Her legs; as she climbed them, were like lead and the landing seemed farther and farther away. But at last, breathless and cold de- spite the exertion of reaching it, she came to the second floor and stum- bled toward the first door that she saw. The number in the center of the top panel was 22. Sandy’s letter box in the entry had said 26. She moved on, as quickly as her-.uncer- tain legs would carry her, and stared at the next door * * * And then, half way along the cor- ridor she saw a partly open door. But when she had come to it and knew that somewhere inside she would find him, she was suddenly afraid, and stood, with closed eyes, praying for courage, clinging desper- ately to the Knob of the open door. Presently she drew herself up and opened her eyes. She was in a small reception hall. There were two closed doors, one on the left, one on the right. With violently beating heart, she stepped to the door on the left and, very slowly, turned the knob and looked in. It. was unmistakably a man’s living room, clean, but un- tidg * * * and unoccupied. Quickly she turned and ran to the opposite door. A bedroom. Still as death. And there, on the floor be- ‘side the bed, a crimson oval on the rug by his head, sprawled the figure of a man, “Sandy — ad had There was no sound save that of her own labored breathing. How. she managed to drive herself into the room she never knew, but presently she was on her knees be- side him, her cheek pressed to his, | her right hand unconsciously caress- ing his “head, ‘and crying over and over again, “Sandy * *°* * Sandy ~ © + Sand ,_* . ere Suddenly she lifted her head, atared at his immobile face, eyes distended, a strange icyness about her heart, She grasped his wrist, almost rough- * * Something * * * But no> it was the throbbing of her own fingers. The hand that she lifted very slow- ly from his head was wet, and for the first time her eyes fell upon the crim- son pool on the rug. That, for Jean, was the end. The knifelike pain in her throat seemed to shoot upward and spread and stab at her brain. The room began to turn slowly, then faster, faster, faster, until everything before her eyes was one indistinguishable blur and sud- denly was lost in an impenetrable blackness. It was all like an unbelievable dream when at last she opened her eyes and saw his white face above her, white and anxious, but indisputably smiling. As casually .as though noth- ing had happened, she put her arms around his neck snd pulled him down gently until-his lips were sealed to hers. Nor was she. particularly disturbed when presently-she realized that the strange looking thing about his head was a bandage, that the stranger looking thing on the floor beside her was a small, black bag and that the even stranger I thing: in the doorway was the stolid ~ yt of a squat little man who at the moment seetmned to “be deeply interested in the contents of the reception hall. Now, seventeen hours later, she sat on her bed.s with unseeing eyes at kag letter and. thinking a Sandy. hilip was.coming for her, and she had given him her promse. (Copyright, 1930.)

If you are engaged to a very jealous fellow, love him, but want to test yourself by going “out” with others, how is the best way to tell him, without hurting his feelings too much or letting him believe you don’t love him? | 2. In another year I will be of age. I’m supporting myself and pay the folks board. Still, they say they can make, or, if necessary, force me into doing the things they want, such as being in at 12, except when I go to dances, then its 1; I am not allowed to spend the night with. my girl friends. If I do, regardless, I have it thrown up at me until I think I'll go crazy. 3. I would like to go around with others I know; but they know me as “Jimmie’s girl,” and that means ‘bands off.” How is the best way to let them know differently without appearing forceful? I certainly would appreciate it if you could answer these questions, be- cause I don’t believe I'll ever be happy at home again while this con- stant nagging and fussing is going on. Or while I’m worrying about how to break the “news” to Jimmie. BABS To start with, Babs, do not even consider marrying a “very jealous fel- low.” Oh, I know how thrilling it is to have some one glowering with love and glaring with hate and all that. Great stuff. Until you get used to it. And\then if anything on earth can be more pestiferous than having an- other human standing over you with Wives of Tomorrow M’DONALD baléful gleams in the eye and all sorts of wild ideas floating around in the Sead, I can not imagine what the something could be. Jealous men are always inferior men making a todo. They are con- ceited despite their inferiority. They sit*in their corner and fear other men and being conceited they resent the idea that they should not be all suf- ficient to any woman living. And s0 they start something. Far from lov- ing more than other men, the jea- lous ones love only themselves and promptly prove it. So do not be too fearful of hurting the tender feelings of your jealous lover. Tell him the truth. Tell him that you are not sure you love him. That is the most healthful thing any lover can hear. Especially the jealous variety. Tell him that you want to be free for a while, or least go about freely. And let him do what ever he thinks best in such circumstances? . Now as to your family. I can sym- pathize with them in their desire to |shelter you. The better families do not permit their very young daugh- ters to be about at all hours of the night and morning. Their methods may be unwise but their intentions and their aims are 100 per cent right. If you were not a working girl you would not even think of defying them. Why do you now? They want you to be respected as a girl of stand- ing in the community. You want to do as girls of no standing do. Why? Family and background are priceless. Why do you not see that? Little giris with irresponsible youths at all hours of the morning look pretty cheap to the adult eye. Why not be what your people want you to be t What Today Means to You By MARY BLAKE “SAGITTARIUS,” F December 18 is your birthday, I the best hours for you. will be from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a: m,, and from 4 p. m. to 6 p. m. The least fruitful hours will be from 1 p. m. to 2:30 p. m. and from 7 p. m., to 8 p. m. The astrological indications point to a drastic change of interest— either social or commercial—brought about largely by the influence of others. Caution is recommended, as some changes may imply “jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.” Children born on this December 18 will bupble over with enthusiasm over any new task. The enthusiasm; however, will wane, and the task re- mains incomplete. Their intelligence will be superficial. .Their affections, on the other hand, will be deep and abiding. You are rather disposed to chafe at what you call your luck, forgetting that there are as many opportunities today for advancement and progress as there ever were. You rather ex- pect the gift of the gods to be hand- ed you on a platter, and overlook the fact that Providence helps those who help themselves. You possess a con- siderable measure of natural ability. You are not lacking in perseverance and dexterity, Your vision, however. is astigmatized—so much so that you fail to see the opportunities that sur- roufd you, Your character is straightforward, and if integrity and a high sense of honor were the only passport to ulti- mate success, you could and would, achieve miracles. Unfortunately you are afraid to take a chance in any line of endeavor, and this keeps you in a permanent rut. . Your disposition, so far as the out- side world goes, is rather jaundiced. In the home, on the other hand, it is both winning and winsome. —— quaintances give you credit for a — your intimates give you pegs for sympathy, broadmindedness, and selfiess consideration. Your hab- its are good ones. Your tastes are simple. Anything in the form of ostentation is obnoxious to you. Without social ambition of any de- scription, you derive your greatest happiness from home life or the as- sociation of a few sincere friends. Successful People Born December 18. 1. Sarah T. B.

HE best unit for a local health department is the county. The township as a unit is too small and can not get enough funds to pro- tect the health of the people. Where such unit for health work prevails the people pay in disease and deaths. The city as a unit is not as satis- factory as it once was. Suburban towns, commuting automobiles and good roads have made city boundaries & theory rather than a condition. The opinion that the county is the proper unit for local health work has the indorsement of the United States Public Health Service, the Rockefeller Foundation, and most of the State health, departments and their in- dorsements afe based on close study and observations lasting years. We commonly speak of Ohio as be- ing the State in which the county health department plan is most widely used. Alabama and various other Southern States dispute Ohio's claim, setting up their own counter claim. New York has the distinction of having ite health work especially well decentralized. But it is doubtful if any one of the contestants could win over California. In. that State the law not only pro- vides for county health departments but it also allows such departments to contract with cities and towns to supply them with local health de- partments closely integrated with the county and State departments, and also with all other local health de- partments. Sixty-five California cities and towns have already made such con- tracts with their county health de- partments. In Los Angeles County alone 36 cities and towns are having their local health work referred to the county health department. Twenty- nine cities and towns located in coun- ties other than Los Angeles are hav- ing their health work done by their county health societies under con- tract. Among cities which are having their health work done that way are San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Mon- terey. The arrangement saves money for the taxpayers and sparés the peo- ple much disease and some deaths. NO DISINFECTANTS. Mrs. E. E.

Iron rust stains often come {from rusty clothes wringers or lines or from careless using of laundry bluing of the Prussian blue type. Use one of the agents below for iron rust stains on whité washable materials. In the case of colored’ materials try the effect of the agent first on a sample or in an inconspicuous place. Lemon juice—Spread the stained water and then squeeze the lemon juice on the stain. Add more lemon jutee if necessary. Potassium acid oxalate—Immerse the stain in a solution of one-half teaspoon potassium acid oxalate to 1 pint of water. More crystals may be added if necessary. Oxalic acid—Prepare «a saturated solution of oxalic acid, spread the fabric over «& bowl of hot water and apply the solution to the stains or put the crystals of acid directly on the fabric and moisten with hat water. Rinse ih hot water and repeat until stains disappear. Tartaric acid—Boil the place in a solution of one of the acid to 1 pint of water until the stain disappears and rinse thor- oughly, Cream of tartar—Boil the stained place in a solution of four teaspoons of cream of tartar to 1 point of water. Rinse thoroughly. Citric acid—-Immerse the stain in a solution of one teaspoon of citric ac'd to 1 pint * baron and boil for fifteen minutes or onger.

If you eat about as you have al- ways done and drink a pint or more of buttermilk in addition, you will put on weight. If you cut your diet in half and drink a pint of butter- milk daily in addition you should lose weight. Drinking buttermilk will not have any material effect on rheumatism. SWIMMING AND FAT. Mrs. K.

Are two cold showers a day dur- ing hot weather detrimental to health? : REPLY. 1.No. The only fat athletes are the swimmers. 2. Not especially. 3. Have your heart examined. Ex- amination after some violent exertion will be most liable to disclose trouble if st be any. 0. Mrs. J. M. writes: I have a grand- mother, 65 years of age, who has a cataract on, both eyes. She is going blind. Is there a medicine that will remove the cataract? REPLY. If one can find the cause of a cat- aract it is sometimes feasible to help somewhat. For instance, cataract due to exposure to glare, heat and dust is somewhat amenable to better care of the eyes. Cataract due to certain dis- eases is benefited by attention to the underlying disease.

Strib- and some highly prized issues, but it is much more difficult to present a couple of heavyweight prize fighters in a ring for charity. In fact, it is so difficult that it. has never yet been done, and that is only half of it. It never will be done, either. I hope, I do nobody an injustice, but. at the ttme that Mr. Sharkey of- fered to fight Mr. Stribling for noth- ing, the boxers’ pay to be turned over to a fund for charity, I would have offered to bet anybody $100 to $1 that there. would be no bout on this basis but for the fact that a sure ‘thing is not a sporting proposition. One does not bet when one’s oppo- hent is beaten in sight and it would have- been unethical to wager on this , even at odds of 1,000 to 1. Mr. Sharkey is very charitable as prize fighters go, for he fights on the Milk Fund program every now and again at an SAILOR TOOK he offered to fight Stribling for noth- ing. When ohe prize fighter makes such an offer he always can depend on the other one to refuse, and vice accept he would be suspended for life by the associated prize fight com- missions for conduct detrimental to The prize fighter’s offer to turn his end of the receipts over to charity is one of the oldest impositions on the name of charity and the credulity of the sport editors, but it must be said for the boys that they have his end of a gate over to charity, but was a Negro prize fighter of sim- e honesty and it was fortunate for im that he had a white man of superior intellect for a manager who ne him from taking this false step. 3 The prize fighter was the late Tiger : Fiowers and his manager te” Walk Miller, bothiof.

It was a rough and ready game fro mthe start, with Shepherd always holding the upper hand. The District basketers appeared fa- tigued as they stepped on the court, having bene delayed more than an hour in reaching the scene of activity, a snow storm having impeded their progress. Bert Mealy was the prime figure cn the court for the visitors, scoring eight of his team’s twelve points and making himself generally useful oth- erwise.

Many Players From Obscure Schools Make Pro Clubs. Special to The Washington Post. EW YORK, Dec. 17.—Knute Rockne, the Bald Sage of South Bend, fell to being quoted out in Buffalo or thereabouts yesterday and in doing so he sur- prised and disappointed some of his friends, Ke disappointed them not because he permitted himself to be quoted, as he has done that many times be- fore, but on this occasion “Rock” fell into the error of his more seri- ous and “less successful football coaching brethren. Instead of utter- ing some of the droll witticisms that have made him excellent copy in the newspapers, he suddenly began to take things very seriously with the statement that football is not suffi- ciently commercial in these days. Then he added that the Notre Dame football ‘team of last season could have defeated the New York Giafits by a comfortable margin. The first statement, about com- mercialization, of course, does not call for any discussion. Sit as Technicians At Pro Games. Rockne’s defense of college football against the professional game, from the technical point of view, is in- teresting, however, especially in this town, where the football played on Sundays by the former college stars has attracted a considerable following of interested football people. On Sat- urday afternoon these people have gone to the college games for thrills. On Sunday afternoons they have gone to see the professionals and to sit as technicians, watching the linemen on one play, perhaps the ends on -another, which the guards come out and the varying methods of blocking. The general opinion hereabouts is that »the. top-notch professional team coul@.defeat the top-notch college outht because of the power, the “savvy and the added years of ex- perience that are there. There is also the fact that when the: profes- sional team lacks a good end or a couple of good half backs, it is pos- sible to go out and get them without worrying —* modern language ex- aminations or a quiz in English. Delivery to Colleges Not Immediate. . It may be argued that in some cases college teams ‘have needed a good end or a couple of good half backs have gone out and obtained them, too, but in the case of the colleges the players thus procured must needs be of less experience. Moreover, because of the now ulliversal freshman rule, the var- sity must wait a year for them. In “pro ball,” as they call it, delivery can be immediate. The fact that a football player can not learn all that there is to learn about football in four years at col- lege, or even all that there is to learn about one position, weighs against “Rock’s” argument that the under- graduate game is technically superior to the professional type. It is reason- able that up to the age of 27, or per- haps longer, a man wil) improve in his football knowledge and in phy- sical power that comes with ma- turity. Many young coaches have told me that they never had realized how little they knew until they began to coach. Benny Friedman has made the statement several times that he has learned as much since leaving college as he did while at Michigan and that he has gained much in strength. , Professional football play- ers view the game from an angle much in contrast to that of the col- legian, studying it with perhaps a more detached, cold-blooded view- point and therefore more effectively. No Test Game Possible. 7 All of this is no argument in favor of the profesisonal game over the col- lege game. It is merely a discussion of one of these hypothetical . sports questions which never can_be settled on the field of play, because it would ‘| be impossible to bring a college foot- ball team up to its top pitch to play professional team. Nor would it be esirable to do so. The only answer to the question of superiority should be, “What of {t?” Each game may have its place.

ALABAMA HAMPERED BY COLD Six Former Reserves on Varsity; Team Leaves Tomorrow. —— ——— USCALOOSA, ALA. Dec. 17 (A.P.). — Alabama’s revamped varsity ran through a light practice in freezing weather today, and prepared to top off training to- morrow for its New Year’s Day game with Washington State at Pasadena. The Crimson Tide will entrain Fri- day with an ‘official party for the West Coast, stopping only at Grand Canyon for a_ sight-seeing trip. There will be no practice en route. Coach Wade probably will send his team through signal drill Friday be- fore boarding the train, and that will be the Tide’s last practice before reaching the scene of the New Year's Day battle. Freezing Weather Hinders Drill. Preezing weather today hindered practice somewhat, but the men drilled with spirit and showed no ill effects from yesterday's tough scrim- mage. Wade shook up his varsity yester- day and started six former reserves against a second feam on which play- ed most of the regulars. John Tucker scored two touchdowns against the reserves. Wade's strategy in revamping his seems to have been well demonstrated | varsity injected new life into the squad. Alabama is fortunate in hav- ing powerful reserve strength, and men who heretofore have been known as reserves are fighting hard to keep varsity positions assigned them.

Iowa State Coach Quits; Lost 16 Straight Games Ames, Iowa, Dec, 17 (A.P.).—Noel Workman, head coach of football at Iowa State College, whose team closed its 1930 season against Rice Institute December 6 with the loss of its six- teenth consecutive game, resigned to- day. He had been head coach for five years, during the last two seasons of which Iowa State won only one foot- ball game. Despite the long list of defeats, the, resignation, effective September 1, 1931. came as a sur- prise. Coach Workman said he had no definite plans. His friends, however, said he had several attractive offers both in the coaching and business fields. Notre Dame Selects All-Opponent Team South Bend, Ind., Dec. 17 (AP.).

Charity Game. EW YORK, Dec. 17 (A.P.).— Plans for an all-star North’ vs. South charity football game here took definite shape today with announcement of players who jhave agreed to compete. The game is be- ing arranged under the auspices of the New York Chapter, Knights of Columbus, and is now scheduled for Ebbets Field, Sunday, Dec. 28. Fearless in the face of Weather Bureau figures showing that it has sometimes been as cold as 8 degrees above zero here on December 28, rep- resentatives of the New York Chap- ter of the Knights of Columbus to- day announced the game was defi- nitely on. Efforts were being made, however, to take out insurance against unduly cold weather. Bobby Dodd, all-Southern quarter back from the University of Tennes- see, will head the South’s forces, it was announced, and other members of the Southern squad will include Hackman, Tennessee, and Bethea, Florida, backs; Thayer, Tennessee, guard; Bodenger, Tulane, guard; Hol- land, Tulane, end, and Forquer and Rose, Kentucky, guards. Among the Northern players said to have agreed to compete are “Swede” Hansen, Temple University; French, Penn State: Antos, Boston College, and Karcis, Carnegie, all backs; Latham Flanaga, Carnegie, end; Obet, Syracuse, guard; Dornoff, tackle, from Marquette University, of Milwaukee, and Foley and Wisniew- ski, of Fordham, tackle and guard, respectively.

Two Surpass | $100,000 Mark Jamestown and Equi- | poise Pass Mark in Same Season. Enter Elite Class of Ten; Increase in Purses Helped. EW YORK, Dec 1930 has N the most interesting has produced two juveniles each of which won more than $100,000. _Equipoise and Jamestown, having earned approximately $150,000. This brings up the point that in the | whole history of the American turf | there have been only ten juveniles Which earned in excess of $100,000. Great Increase in Value Of Stakes. A great increase in the value of the big fixtures of the turf has taken place in recent years, so that it is not surprising to find five of these $100,- 000 2-year-olds since 1927, or six since 1925. Even Man o’ War fell far short of' the $100,000 mark, garnering only $63,325 in 1919, the year following the war. As a rule the 2-year-old champion- ship has gone to the youngster which has earned the largest amount of | money. More properly it might be said that the largest amount of ‘money has gone to the horse which won the 2-year-old championship. But that does not apply this season, as.Jamestown is acknowledged the best of the 2-year-olds even though Equipoise surpassed his total by a longer: sedson of racing. The first of the 2-year-olds to earn more than $100,000 was His Highness, crack youngster of 1891, which won nine of bis twelve starts for a total of $106,900. Strangely enough, it was only two years later that the 2-year- old money-winning record, which still stands, was set. Domino in 1893 was undefeated, winning eight of his nine starts and dead-heating with Dobbins in the other, to eatn $170,890. Domino Won Many Races But Purses Were Small. ‘Many of: the -aces which Domino won to roll up his geat total no longer are held, but it is fair to say that if he won equivalent races in the pres- ent era his total would be much greater. For example, the Futurity of Domino’s year was worth only $46,885, as against the $105,730 which Whichone took down in 1929 and $99,600 which Jamestown earned last September. After Domino there was along gap | before another $100,000 2-year-old came along. In 1907 unbeaten Colin won twelve out of tweive starta and established his total at $131,007. An- other long jump to 1921 and Morvich scored eleven victories in eleven starts for @ total of $115,234. Pompey earned $121,630 in 1925, Anita Peabody $111,905 in 1927; Hizh Strung earned $153,590 in 1928, and Whichone $135.455 in 1929. Although thiére have been nine 2-year-old champions unbeaten in their juvenile year, only three of them, Domino, Colin and Morvich, have earned more than $100,000. Bésides these three, the unbeaten pions of the -youngsters were Rutherford in 1873, Sensation in 1879, mont in 1886, The Butterflies in 4, Regret in 1914 and Tryster in .* Rutherford Ran But One Race As Juvenile. Rutherford had rather an easy time of it, going unbeaten, and rather an easy time of it in being champion, for he ran only one race as a juve- nile. This, nevertheless, was good enough to give him the juvenile championship of 1873 and earnings of $3,550, the smallest of any 2-year- old. champion. Domino's, of course, were the largest. Rutherford, in addition to earning the smallest amount of money, ran the fewest races to gaimg@the cham- pionship. The largest number of races run by a @-year-old champion was eighteen, turned in in 1887 by Emperor of Norfolk. He won twelve of these starts and never finished out of the money. Morello won fourteen out of seven- teen in 1892 and also never finished out of the money. Anita Peabody, High Strung, Jamestown, Commando, Requital, Potomac, General Harding and Harry Bassett were defeated only orice. GEORGETOWN FIVE MEETS.

Lasich, newly elected captain of the Penn State Football Team, dur- ing the: past season enjoyed the dis- tinction of being the only letter win- ner from his class on the squad, a distinction to which he can lay un- disputed claim for a two-year stretch. As a sophomore Lasich was the only member of-his class to earn the var- sity letter; since no sophomores were awarded the letter this season his record will stand for another year. As a freshman Lasich showed prom- ise of becoming one of the best of Penn State full backs. He was cap- tain and leading scorer for the fresh- men that fall and was the outstand- ing star of every game. When he came up to ..the varsity the next season he was immediately placed at. full back, where he stuck all year. Lasich attended high school in Clair- ton, where he was a member of the football and track teams, being cap- tain of the latter sport 17-Game Court List For Marshall Team Special to The Washington Post. Huntington, W. Va., Dec. 17.-—A difficult schedule of seventeen games was announced here this afternoon by Roy M. Hawley for the Marshall College Basket Ball Team, annually one of the strongest in the State. The Thundering Herd, under the tutelage of Coach Johnny Stuart, last year lost only three games and with four veterans of the starting line-up and two first string substitutes, the season holds bright prospects for the Big Green again ‘this season. ‘December 27, at meeting the strong University of Foe five in a bene- fit game for the unemployed of that region.

XF TLANTA, Ga., Dec. 17 A With most of the regulars from last year’s Southern Conference championship quintet returned, indi- cations are that Alabama again. will be a dangerous contender for Dixie basket ball honors. The Crimson Tide rolled up a great record of 20 successive wins over the best teams in the South last year and downed Duke in the tournament finals hene, 31-24, after defeating Clemson, Georgia and Tennessee in earlier cantests. Coach Hank Crisp lost two impor- tant cogs in his machine in Smith and O'Neil, crack forwards. Alabama again has a tough con- ference sehedule of 14 games, and several other nonconference contests which include intersectional combats, with Butler, Northevestern and Wit- ’ tenberg. Duke Lost Three By Graduation. Duke, runner-up in the conferetice basket ball tournament for two sea- sons, lost three of its best performers by..graduation, but the Blue Devil quintet, which opens against Villa- nova at Durham Friday night, again will have a fast club capable of caus- * plenty of trouble for the opposi- on. Coach Cameron lost Councillor and Werber, the Washington, D. C., vet- eran, and the redoubtable guard, and Farley. However, Croson, the bean- pole center; Rogers, Garber and Car- ter, forwards, and Shaw, guard, are veterans. Colley, Cochrane and Rob- ertshaw are promising sophomores. Croson, Garber and Colley are Wash- ington, D. C., boys. With the fast and elusive Coun- cillor gone, Duke probably will stress defensive work and offer a slower and more cautious attack than in the past when speed and deception made’ up the offense. Tennessee, Kentucky Have Veterans. Tennessee and Kentucky, which went to the sémifinals last year, also have veterans available around which to build the 1931 teams. Gus Tebell, who brought North Carolina State College a champion- ship in 1929, has shifted to Virginia and hopes to have a formidable club. Tebell, who will bring a new style of play to Charlottesville, finds a capable center as his chief need. Four members of the Southwestern Louisiana Institute Team, Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association champions, are back for another year, while Erskine, which alse had a great association record in 1930, re- ports good material available. Scattered games are slated for late December, but few intra-group games. will be played untjl January. Injured Penn State Athlete Recovering Special to The Washington Post. State College, Pa., Dec. 17.—Word has been recei at Penn State that Al DeBonis, varsity pitcher and soc- cer player, who was seriously injured in an auto accident two weeks ago, is recovering and apparently is out of danger.

JOCKEYS DUE TO BATTLE FOR LEAD Five ‘ Cornered Race Promised at Agua Caliente Meet. Special to The Washington Poet. GUA CALIENTE, Baja California, Mexico, Dec, 17.—The battle for jockey leadership during the forthcoming Agua Caliente winter , meeting promises to prove the liveli- est ever waged below the Mexican border line. Riders from the East and West are gathering at the Mexi- can Spa for the 82-day entertainment, starting Christmas Day. A snug for- tune lies at the feet of successful Agua Caliente silk bearers with its assortment of sixteen stakes, wherein to acquire fame and honor.

Callahan rides for the Audley farm, with Terry O’Malley holdihg his book. The 96-pound: West, another Idaho boy, has a wide following among owners and trainers, many of whom predict he is destined to.be- come a great jockey. Young Fischer belongs to Jack P, Atkin, whose Pasa- dena string now numbers more than 30 head. Of the older riders, Johnny Mai- ben, with the Marchbank stable for the. winter; Frankie Coltiletti who is scheduled to pilot Sun Beau; Georgie Ellis, winner of last year’s Agua Cali- ente handicap on Victorian; Herman Schutte, the lad who gave Sande and Gallant Fox their hardest fight, when astride Gallant Knight; Bobby Leish- man, one of the Nation’s most skilled lightweights; Eddie Legere; formerly of the Col.

Special to The Washington Post, EXINGTON, Va., Dec. 17.-¢To- morrow night, in Doremus Gym- nasium, Washington and Lee’s 1930 edition basket ball team will take the floor against the Shawnee Club of Lynchburg. It will mark the first game this season for the Gen- erals and the first game for the Lex- ington team under the regime of Coach Ray Ellerman, former Wiscon- sin star and coach, The Shawnee Club is composed of a group-of former collegiate basketers, who will give the Generals a hard tussle in this early season encounter. Ernie Wood, dynamic Generals’ cap- tain last year, may see action against his former teammates, as word com- ing from Lynchburg indicates that he may play in a Shawnee uniform. . New System Has Retarded Advancement. With over two weeks of intensive drill, Coach Ellerman's charges will be ready to start théir campaign. Al- though the introduction of the Mean- well system has somewhat slawed down the smooth play of the five, it is expected that they will reach top form by the middle of next month, when they go into their Northern invasion, Coach Ellerman has been experi- menting with line-ups, but it is more than likely that he will start Leigh Williams, senastional center, men- tioned for all-Southern and all- American honors, at his pivot post; Harris Cox and Sam Barasch, mono- gram winners, at forwards; Harry Burke, also a last year’s letter man, at guard, along with Paul Holbrook, member of the 1929 Little Generals.

N recognition of their triumphs on the gridiron this fall, during which they established themselves as one of the leading independent clubs in the District, 24 members of the Seamen Gunner Football Team were awarded letter sweaters at an assembly held yesterday morning at the receiving ship in the Navy Yard. The sweaters were purchased with funds donated by their fellow stu- dents at the receiving ship, which is a training school for divers and gun- ners. Congratulatory speeches were made by Lieut. Comdr. L, B. Green, com- mander of the school; Lieut. J. P. B. Barrett, executive offcer, and Sam Landsman, a civilian supporter, who was business manager of the team this season. Landsman also made the presentation of the sweaters. Under Coach Fred G,. Michels, the Gunners this fall won eight games, lost one and tied one. Last Sunday they defeated the Mercurys by a 13 to 6 score. The Mercs previously had won the unlimited section champion- ship of The Post's Capital City Foot- ball League. Other victims of the Sailors were the Northerns, Seat Pleasant, Quentins, Marions, Fort Washington, Fort Myer and the Vir- ginia A, C., of Alexandria. Beaten Only by Alexandrians. The St. Mary's Celtics, of Alene andria, administered the only defeat suffered by the Gunhers, who also played a scoreless draw with the strong Lebanon (Pa.) Independents Club. The following men received the awards: Chief Torpedoeman Fred G. Michels, coach; Chief Quartermaster H. L. Speith, manager; H. T. Pigg, captain; W. E. Bell, O. G. Bradley, V. L. Bricker, J. J.

Lehigh’s Hopes High For Good Tank Team Bethlehem, Pa., Dec. 17.—While the true caliber of the Lehigh University Swimming Team for the ensuing season is not definitely determined, prospects for a good season appear favorable. Veterans are available in practically every event except the dives. Héaded by Capt. Hal Cushman, the Brown and White will be well rep- resented in the sprints and back- stroke. Cushman holds several pool records in the latter event.. In addi- tion, he usually swims anchor on the relay team and in one other sprint event. Other veteran sprinters to represent the Brown and White this year will be Harry Hoyt, Bob Enscoe and several others. In the 440, Lehigh has Louis Bren- nesholtz, a regular last year; Austin Kantner and David Macadam, the latter two having some experience. The Brown. and White will also be well represented in the breast stroke by Edwin Ross and Alfred McNeil, both of whom have had a year’s sea- soning. It is in the dives that Lehigh may be handicapped. Ed. Snyder, a champion last year, did not return to college and Capt. Ted Blood was also lost. This leaves the team with- out veterans. 12-DAY REST FOR V. M. I. ATHLETES Court, Mat and Ring Candidates in Pre- liminary Work. Special to The Washington Post. EXINGTON, Va., Dec. 17.—Pre- —e training for the. Vir- ginia Military Institute basket ball, boxing and wrestling teams will be interrupted for twelve days Sat- urday when the Cadet Corps is fur- loughed for.the Christmas holidays. In the meanwhile, intramural con- tests under the direction of Trainer Herb Patchin have helped the coaches to get a line on the available ma- terial for both varsity and freshman teams. Coach Bill Raftery will have only three letter men in basket ball un- less Bob Brown, high scorer of the team last year, recovers sufficiently from an old injury to play. Capt. Marion Brown will be at one for« ward, Mergenhagen is the center choice and Gregory will be at guard. Edmunds Leading Forward Candidate. Edmunds, up. from last year’s freshmen, is a leading forward can- didate, and Cutchin, a reserve last year, may be Gregory's running mate at, guard. Stumpy Travers and Jack Walker, up from the freshmen, and Grainger, a reserve, are also guard prospects. Only three members of last year’s Southern Conference championship wrestling team will be available to Coach Pete Hesmer, whose teams have been undefeated in conference grappling for two successive seasons. Capt. Woods Talman, 165-pound title holder; Stuart Will, 125-pound con- ference champion, and Bob Turner, 155-pounder, are the letter men on hand. Will has been shifted a notch upward to the 135-pound division, where ‘he is pushed by Dewey. Other places will be filled mainly by last year’s freshmen. The lead- ing candidates are: 118 pounds, Heff- ner and DeCamps; 126 pounds, Shep- herd and Hodges; 145 pounds, Stith and Landis. Rochelle is the hgaviest candidate for the 175-pound and un- limited classes. He: was a member of the 1928 freshman team. Coach Hes- mer will probably be compelled to use some of his lighter men in the heavy- weight class. Tompkins and Rucker are two possibilities here. All of 1929 Boxing Stars Are Missing. Although Coach Michael Margulies Will have a nucleus of five letter men for the varsity boxing team, he will miss all of the veterans of last year, who scored the points that made V. M. I. runner-up to Florida in the Southern Conference ring tourney. Charlies Rogers, Bernard McCray and T. O. Palmer were lost by graduation, and the captain-elect, Ray Chapman, middleweight conference champ, did not return to the institute. The letter men are Capt. Bill Buck, featherweight; John Monks, light- weight; Bill Spann, welterweight; Dunn, heavyweight. Dunn is ca and Gill captain-elect of the football team. Monks will be closely by Micky Doyle, clever boxer from last year’s freshman team, and two other former freshmen, Dorsey Cullen and Jack Epps, are fighting for Spann’s place. Berg Carter, also up from the freshmen, is the leading ‘middle- weight, and two varsity reserves of last year, Lyle and Duane, appear to be the best of the bantamweights. John Gill, light heavyweight, and Roy Middies:: Take 12a] Lead in Opening Minutes. et Special to The Washington Post. NNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 17—Navy cagers, engaging in their second game of the season, put forth a. snappy exhibition this afternoon - defeat Lafayette Loopers, 35 to 2% an interesting game.

Gnited Utilities to Control “Line Between Here and ~~ Knoxville, Tenn. * CAPITAL MEN INVOLVED By THOMAS M. CAHILL. Acquisition of the Eastern Public Service Corporation, operating motor coaches between here and Knoxville. Tenn., by United Utilities, a new Vir- ginia corporation, was announced yes- terday by J. H. Lennon, investment banker, Hartford, Conn., who, with other capitalists, is organizing and in- corporating United Utilities. He said stockholders of the Eastern corporation would exchange their etock for equal shares in the new company. In addition, United Utill- ties will pay approximately $450,000 for Eastern's assets, including motor coaches and other equipment. Trans- fer occurs shortly after January 1. Operating personnel of the new line will continue with Earl Pflug, Roa- noke, Va., as operating supervisor. Decision to sell to United Utilities, Mr. Lennon said, was reached Tuesday at a meeting of Eastern corporation stockholders here, the offer of the United being unanimously accepted. The Eastern is one of the largest mo- tor coach lines operating in Virginia and nearby States. Among others organizing United Utilities with Mr. Lennon are Ralph Shoat, Roanoke; former United States Senator N. 8. Dial, of South Carolina, now of Wasnington; C. W.

The lightning rapidity with which the advance developed suggested the Blocks of 1,000 to 5,000 sbares ap- peared on.the tape in the final hours of the session and hel to swell the day's turnover to 1,341,900 shares, the largest since October 10. The bond sales amounted to $8,087,000, a new high record for the Curb, com- paring with the oe high figure of $7,829,000 on January 16, 1928. Electric Bond & Share, which sag- ged during the morning to a new year's low at 37% rallied under 4a strong buying movement to close at 42%,a net gain of 4% points. Ameri- can Gas & Electric advanced 6% and United Light & Power A converted a 2-point loss into a 2-point gain. Virtually every active stock in the utility group closed firm. Utility Power & Light, American Superpower, Niagara Hudson, United Gas, Middle- west Utilities, were among those that registered gains. Tampa Electric was an exception, recovering but one-half of a 4-point loss. In the scramble of shorts to buy back the stocks they had sold Vac- uum and Gulf were the chief bene- ficiaries in the petroleum list. Gulf dipped during the morning to a new year’s low at 58% and then fre- bounded to 63% and retained all but a small fraction to close 4% net higher. Vacuum was 4 points higher. Cities Service, Standard of Indiana, and Humble finished about a point about the previous close. The Industrial group except for 4 few speculative favorites were slow to reflect the effect of the change of trend. Deere advanced 5% and Driver Harris 2. Ford Motor, Ltd., American Cyanamid B, Horanda and Techni- color were slightly improved, New- mont Mining, which omitted the 5 per cent stock dividend moved into new low ground for the year, sagging to 37% but recovered all but a point, closing at 41%. Goldman Sachs, United Founders, Ungerleider Financial and Pennroad were among the investment and holding company shares that regis- tered fractional advances on the day. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

New York, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—Harry F. Sinclair, chairman of the Sin- clair Consolidated Oil Corporation, in a year-end survey of the petro- leum industry, issued today, said it has little reason to expect a return to prosperity until it corrects the evils that afflict it, and its house is put in order. “I believe that execu- tives of the oil companies see the situation more clearly now than ever before and will in time work out their problems,” he said. “In the meanwhile, false optimism would do more harm than good. “We are suffering from overdevel- opment in production, transportation, refining capacity and marketing fa- cilities. The duplication of market- ing facilities, especially service sta- tions, has been carried to such lengths as almost to be a public nuis- ance—not to mention the strain upon the resources of the oil companies. The endeavor to outstrip the other fellow has led to extravagance of distribution costs that is wholly un- justified. Demoralization of prices has served to emphgsize this and other evils. “While we hear much of over- supply, it would be more accurate to say that we have had overdevelop- ment which has built up a huge ‘potential. We do not know the facts, but the industry lives under this potential cloud’ We must find out what is the actual as distin- guished from the potential before the industry will know the real prob- lem it has to handle.” COTTONSEED OIL MARKET.

Bank Acceptances Gain 863.173.9 American Council Reports Grand Total in November of $1,571,417,674. New York, Dec. 17 (A.P.).—The dollar volume of bankers acceptances continued to increase last month, re- cording a gain of $63,173,948 to a new grand total of $1,571,417,674 as of No- vember 29, the American acceptance council reported yon The. total was within $86,482,250 of the “abnormally high figure of November, 1929,” the report added. “This reduction from last year’s figures of only a little over 5 per cent,” Robert H. Bean, executive sec- retary of the council, said, “actually indicates a greater use of acceptance credits at this time. as the shrinkage in wholesale prices for commodities usually financed by acceptances, now placed at 15 per cent for the year, would on an equal#volume leave the current total of bills at only about $1,140,000,000. “With only one month to go before the year’s record is revealed, it is now certain that ac- ceptance credits have fimanced over $1,000,000,000 more business here and abroad than in the year 1929.” “The remarkably high total of bills drawn. to finance foreign storage and shipment continues to attract atten- tion,” Mr. Bean said. “A year ago this total was $416,626,455, compared with $543,750,748 November 29, an increase of $127,124,293.” Huge Copper Merger Approved. New York, Dec. 17 (A.P.)—Formal approval in London today by stock- holders of the Bwana M’Kubwa Min- ing Co. of the merger with the Rho- desian Border Concessions Co. and the N’Changa Copper Mines, Ltd., was viewed.in trade circles as a big step in stabilizing the industry. As a re- sult of the merger ownership of the huge copper reserves of the Rho- desian district will be concentrated with the result that production may be more effectively controlled.

Upperville, Va., Dec. 17.—Townsend Craun, 25, a whip for the Piedmont Hunt Club, was probably fatally in- jured yesterday when a horse he was riding in a hunt collided with one ridden by Irving Beavers, also whip of the club, on the estate of Gen. Buchanan, near Upperville. As the hounds were trailing a covey of birds a rabbit bobbed up and Craun ran into Beavers when the two attempted to keep the hounds in line, Both horses fell and Beavers and Craun were knocked unconscious. They were taken to Winchester Me- morial Hospital, where NM was found Craun’s skull had been fractured. Beavers’ injuries were not thought serious. COMMODITY PRICES DIOPLAY WEAKNESS Present Low Production Is Reducing Inventories; Eventual Relief Seen. — ||FARM QUOTATIONS LOW Richmond, Va., Dec. 17 (A-P.).— After remaining unusually steady during October, the general level] of commodity prices showed further weakhess in the first half of Novem- ber, and although there was some re- covery in thé last two weeks of that month, the recovery was not fully maintained during the first two weeks in December, a United States Depart- ment of Agriculture statement fre- ceived here today said. The statement predicted that the business activity in December will be below that of November, which de- clined from the October figures. “There have been evidences of im- provement, howevef, in some lines of activity, and the present low level of production is gradually reducing in- ventories of some manufactured com- modities and will eventually lead to improvement,” the statement con- tinued, “Seasonal improvement is to be expected in many lines of activity after the holiday season and this may develop into a general upward swing in business activity during 1931. It is likely, however, that recovery will be slow and irregular.” The statement said the index of farm prices at 103 was at the lowest point since December, 1915, and com- pared with 106 on October 15 and 136 on November 15 last year. It was said that declining prices for grains, fruits and vegetables and meat ani- mals from October 15 to November 15 more than offset the advances of poultry, cotton and cottonseed and the unclassified commodities. “Since November 15 market prices for grain have advanced somewhat, cattle prices are slightly higher and lamb prices have shown some ad- vance. Prices for fruits and vege- tables have not materially changed since November 15, but prices for hogs, butter, eggs, cotton and wool have made declines. These declines will probably more than offset the advances, and it is likely that the general level of farm prices during the middle of December will be somewhat lower than on the 15th of November,” the report concluded. Snow Flurry Halts Search for Body No Trace Is Yet Located of John Bingham, Be- lieved Drowned. Cold weather and snow flurries yes- terday forced a halt to the police search for the body of John Bingham, 17, who, with Henry 8. Florance, also 17, was drowned Monday when their rowboat overturned in the Potomac River. Florance’s body was found last Tuesday. Harbor Precinct police, who dragged the river yesterday, near Fox's Ferry, until the elements called a halt, said they would continue the work this morning, weather permitting.

DORAN, Director of Prohibition Enforcement, Washington, D. C. Dear Dr. Doran: I see by the papers that you have given up the poisoning of liquor because of too much competition from the bootleg- gers and that you are now going to try to discourage diversion of alcohol by making it taste like bad eggs, garlic and onions. Well, all I can say is that you are the answer to the question “Pop, what is an optimist?” if you really think anything like that can ruin the taste of modern liquor. As a matter of fact, Doctor, I think it may improve it. — = — * A taste of nothing worse than a couple of bad eggs, some garlic and an onion or two in a quart of to- ‘day’s genuine prewar rye or Scotch just-off-a-boat (‘a friend of mine knows the purser”), I am afraid will not even be noticeable and if you realjy want to get anywhere with this new. experiment you will throw in some boiled cauliflower, a few leeks and some baked rubber plants. : = + I . Even then the liquor the ultimate consumer drinks. will not taste much worse than it does today; in fact, I think to play. safe you should throw in some old hat bands and crabapple juice. What you do not seem to realize, Doctor, is that any attempt to make modern liquor unpalatable to the lips of the average consumer is a well-nigh impossible task. — — > OTHING makes the modern N drinker sick. I mean to a point where he is conscious of his sickness. I don't know what the bootleggers have been and are put- ting in the stuff they give the retail trade, but it is certainly nothing with a taste as mild as bad eggs and garlic. If they did nothing worse than that to the rye, Scotch and gin they sell these days it would be a pretty pala- table drink. I know they are soak- ing firecrackers, the ends of sulphur matches and the rubber corks out of ammonia bottles in the alcohol they use, but I can’t quite distinguish the other ingredients ee = legger thought there was any taste of bad eggs or garlic in his product he would immediat@y put on a more elaborate label and pack up the price about $10 a case. tee That is what I am afraid will happen as soon as he gtts any of this' new alcohol you are going to y — An_ ——— oe 1 a: No fooling, Dr. Doran, if a boot- THE ONCE OVER By H.

SECRETARY OF FAIR OUORES HOME AGENT Cooperation ‘Not: Given on Montgomery Project, Report Asserts. FARM WORKER PRAISED is Failure of the home demonstration agent of Montgomery County, Miss Blanche Corwin, to co-operate in the recent Rockville Fair, was severely criticized in the annual report of 8, | Otho C. Trundle, secretary, presented at the annual meeting of the Mont- gomery County Agricultural Society. The report was made public at the organization meeting of the newly elected board of directors last night in the Farm Bureau office in Rock- ville. On the other hand, efforts put forth by County Agricultural Agent W. Anderson and his assistant, Albert A. Ady, in furthering the suc- cess of the fair were lauded in the report. Mr. Trundle declared in his report that the home demonstration agent is a paid agent of the county, le | Whose duty is to support county ac- tivities, and that he believes the agent has forsaken one of the “most apparent outlets of expression” in failing to co-operate in the carrying on of the fair. Mr. Trundle pointed out that the fair this year was unable to meet expenses, due to the financial condi- tion of the country, which was re- fiected in the lack of exhibits by agricultural machine manufacturers. The- fact that 25 per cent of the premiums were paid, although the financial proceeds of the fair did not warrant it, is a sign of the desire of the board to keep faith with the ex- hibitors, he held. Mr. Trundle suggested that the fair date be set at a later time, and that the fair be advertised’ consis- tently throughout the year. He re- ported that the racing programs were received with as much enthusiasm és usual and that the Boys’ Clubs eéx- hibits were better this year than last season. Much of this success is at- tributed by the report to Mr. Ander- son and Mr. Ady. The farm exhibits were not lacking in interest but be- cause of the conditions prevailing were not up to standard, The women’s department exhibits were not affected by the drought, but were interesting and effective, he said. The cattle show was larger than ever before and the flower show, re- placing the usual horse show was described as an unqualified success.

Housibg Plans Reported. According to Rufus Moseley, vice president of the union, no defense will be made, and preparations have been made to house them.
